Eden's Pov
I am calling him, pressing the phone hard against my ear, but he does not answer. My heart is racing so fast it feels like a trapped bird beating against my ribs. I quickly end the call and dial Perry instead, chewing nervously on my fingernails as I pace back and forth across the kitchen floor. Lotus's initial excitement fades as she watches me, her tail drooping. Aside from the fact that this would make me fail my system task, it will destroy almost everything we have planned. Oh God, please help me.
Perry answers after what feels like the final ring, his voice strained. "You should come here, Eden. He is not taking this well at all."
"Where are you?" I ask, my voice tight.
"Skyhigh's private medical wing. I have already called your driver; he will bring you straight here."
